Hey Poor Player's Jonathan Trussler writes - "Sorcerer King is something of an oddity among 4x style strategy games in that it’s not a symmetrical battle between rivals who all start from roughly the same point. The focus is all about defeating the titular world-ruling Sorcerer King and preventing him from from casting the “spell of the making” where he intends to turn all life in existence."
Why stop him becoming a God when you can become one yourself.
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
CGM:
Sorcerer King features some of the most refreshingly original mechanics I’ve seen to-date in a 4X turn-based strategy. The Sorcerer King has already conquered the realm of Elemental by the time you begin, and the decision was made—in traditional Bond-villain fashion—to reduce each race to a single city, rather than eradicate them entirely. In an equally unwise decision, the Forge of the Overlord—an incredibly powerful artifact with the ability to craft potions, scrolls, and equipment of legendary potency—was trusted to one of the now enslaved factions (spoiler alert: it’s yours). Oh, and he’s casting a Spell of Making—a spell that, if completed, will convert the living world into a limitless supply of magical energy for him.
